An amazing addition to the Saints Row series! It doesn't take itself seriously, and you should not either. Full of laughs and over the top humor that any true gamer with a gamer’s humor will get and laugh out loud.
Remember this year's Saints Row(opens in new tab)? Volition would probably prefer that you didn't, which might go some way to explaining why the studio recently decided to upgrade everyone's copy of Saints Row 4(opens in new tab) to its full-fat Re-elected Edition, containing all the game's story and cosmetic DLC and even introducing cross-play between Steam, Epic, and GOG versions of the game.
Unfortunately, that upgrade seems to have backfired, and players now report a myriad of bugs with their new version of SR4. Both the Saints Row Steam forums(opens in new tab) and subreddit(opens in new tab) are filled with players complaining of broken saves, crashes, and mods failing to function. It's also received a few hundred negative Steam reviews(opens in new tab) since the update. If it's succeeded in washing the taste of Saints Row (2022) out of players' mouths, it's only because it tastes even worse.
I wonder if Volition's getting reorged under Gearbox impacted the quality of their release.
When it comes ranking the Saints Row games, there are a couple of weird ones you have to consider, though this is Saints Row after all.
Juan at SwitchWatchTV got his hands on Saints Row 4 Re-elected for Nintendo Switch. Check out his review here and see what he thinks.
It's a fun game but 9.8/10? Not even close.
This is the same site that gave Payday 2 9.5/10 recently as well. Your reviewers can't review for shit. A game can be fun and you can appreciate that, but a review requires a certain level of objectivity that your guys just don't have.
9.8/10 means damn near perfect. List of Saints Row IV flaws:
Cars handle like arse
Cars are pointless the second you get super run.
Graphically pretty ugly.
Side Missions are all pretty much the same few quests repeated over and over again.
Can't have sex with Keith David.
Bugs Galore. The sound constantly drops out, usually with gunfire.
Great game, but nowhere near a 9.8/10. Go home Impulsegamer, you're drunk.
stopped playing after 3 hours
a boring crap
The whole aliens and trapped in the matrix thing is killing this game for me. I find myself doing nothing but looking for orbs...or this game's equivalent... like in Crackdown.
The game overall feels like overpriced dlc for Saints Row 3.
